The Official Newsletter of District Governor - D3410 March- 2014 3/23/2014 THE OFFICIAL NEWSLETTER OF DISTRICT GOVERNOR - D3410 Prepared by | DDG John Soe The Official Newsletter of District Governor - D3410 March - 2014 GOVERNOR’S MESSAGE Dear Fellow Rotarians En/ March is Rotary Literacy Month. This is a time to think about how we can spread the good word and works of Rotary in our communities in order to promote literacy both locally and in the world. Public Relations and providing stories and photos of our service projects to local media is a great way to do that and to promote membership opportunities as well. Use Social Media to showcase your Club’s events, fundraisers and service projects. Promote Peace and Understanding in our communities by working with young people in the area of Literacy. Combating illiteracy has been a focus of Rotary International since 1986 - and for good reason. UNESCO estimates there are 862 million illiterate adults in the world and about two thirds of them are women. Millions more are functionally illiterate, without the reading and writing skills necessary for everyday life. Functional literacy is about people having adequate skills to function well in a literate society. The United Nations has identified illiteracy as a major obstacle to economic, political, and social development. Membership – Have you set goals to increase membership this year by at least three new members? Have you engaged all your members in being part of the “Membership Team”? This is something that all Rotarians should take pride in, sharing our Rotary opportunities with others. Have you looked around you at family, friends and neighbours; these are people that you know the best and they are wonderful candidates to join Rotary. In/ Maret adalah Bulan Literasi Rotary. Ini waktunya untuk memikirkan bagaimana kita dapat menyebarkan berita baik dan karya Rotary di masyarakat kita dalam rangka untuk mempromosikan literasi baik lokal maupun di dunia. Public Relations dan mengadakan kisah dan foto-foto proyek pelayanan kita kepada media lokal adalah cara terbaik untuk itu dan untuk mempromosikan peluang keanggotaan juga. Gunakan Media Sosial untuk menampilkan kegiatan Klub Anda, penggalangan dana serta proyek pelayanan klub. Promosikan Perdamaian dan Pemahaman di masyarakat kita,bersama kaum muda dalam bidang Literasi. Membasmi buta huruf telah menjadi fokus dari Rotary International sejak 1986. UNESCO memperkirakan ada 862 juta orang dewasa buta huruf dan dua pertiga dari mereka adalah wanita.Secara fungsional buta huruf, tidak bisa membaca dan menulis, keterampilan yang diperlukan untuk kehidupan sehari-hari. Keaksaraan fungsional adalah tentang orang yang memiliki keterampilan memadai agar berfungsi dengan baik dalam masyarakat melek huruf. PBB mengidentifikasi buta huruf sebagai hambatan utama bagi pembangunan ekonomi, politik, dan sosial. Keanggotaan - Apakah Anda sudah memenuhi target untuk peningkatan keanggotaa, tahun ini setidaknya tiga anggota baru? Apakah Anda melibatkan anggota menjadi bagian dari "Keanggotaan Team"?Semua Rotarian harus bangga, berbagi peluang Rotary dengan orang lain. Apakah Anda sudah melihat disekitar keluarga, teman dan tetangga; itu adalah individu yang Anda tahu terbaik dan mereka adalah kandidat terbaik untuk bergabung bersamaRotary. Eva T Kurniaty - District Governor The Official Newsletter of District Governor - D3410 March- 2014 PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Dear fellow Rotarians, En/ Growing up in Duncan, Okla., USA, I took it for granted that everyone could read. In my own elementary school, not only were we expected to be reading by the age of seven or eight, we were expected to read upside down. We each took turns reading books to the entire class, and of course, if you want to read out loud to a group while you show them the pictures, you can't do it the right way up. All the way through elementary school, we did that every week, until it didn't really matter to us which way we were holding the book. I never thought too much about that skill at the time. But a few months ago, on a visit to a Rotary project in Decatur, Ala., I walked into a first-grade classroom and was asked if I would read a book to a class of six-year-olds. Naturally, I was happy to oblige. I sat down, opened the book they had chosen, and started reading to about 30 little kids – upside down, just the way I did it back in second grade. In a sense, I was doing exactly what I'd learned to do more than half a century earlier. But as an adult, and especially as a Rotarian, I saw that experience in a different way. I was reading to a group of children who were well on their way to literacy themselves. We were sitting in their classroom, in a school where Rotarians came every week to read one-onone with children who needed a little extra help. There wasn't any question that every child in that room would grow up to be a literate adult. And all of them took that completely for granted – as they took it for granted that adults would care enough to read them a book while showing them the pictures, even if that meant reading upside down. We all know that millions of children all over the world aren't that lucky. That's why we make basic education and literacy a priority in our Rotary service. As we mark Literacy Month in Rotary, we remind ourselves what a gift we are giving when we help a child to read – whether it's a child on the other side of the world or right in our own hometown. In/ Dibesarkan di Duncan, Okla, Amerika Serikat, saya anggap biasa saja bahwa semua orang bisa membaca. Di sekolah dasar saya, tidak hanya kita diharapkan dapat membaca pada usia tujuh atau delapan, kami diharapkan untuk membaca terbalik. Kita masing-masing bergantian membaca bukubuku untuk seluruh kelas, dan tentu saja, jika Anda ingin membaca keras-keras ke grup saat Anda menunjukkan kepada mereka gambar, Anda tidak dapat melakukannya dengan cara yang tepat. Semasa sekolah dasar, kita melakukan itu setiap minggu, hingga benarbenar tidak masalah bagi kami dengan cara kami memegang Saya tidak pernah berpikir terlalu banyak tentang keterampilan pada waktu itu. Tapi beberapa bulan yang lalu, dalam sebuah kunjungan ke proyek Rotary di Decatur, Alabama, saya masuk ke ruang kelas satu SD dan bertanya apakah saya akan membaca buku untuk murid enam-tahun. Tentu saja, saya senang untuk membantu. Saya duduk, membuka buku yang mereka pilih, dan mulai membaca untuk sekitar 30 anak-anak kecil - The Official Newsletter of District Governor - D3410 terbalik, seperti yang saya lakukan saat di kelas dua. Dalam artian, saya melakukan persis apa yang saya pernah belajar untuk melakukan lebih dari setengah abad sebelumnya. Tapi sebagai orang dewasa, dan terutama sebagai Rotarian, saya melihat pengalaman dengan cara yang berbeda. Saya sedang membaca kepada sekelompok anak-anak yang dalam perjalanan mereka untuk melek sendiri. Kami sedang duduk di dalam kelas mereka, di sebuah sekolah di mana para Rotarian datang setiap minggu untuk membaca satu per satu dengan anak-anak yang membutuhkan bantuan ekstra. Tidak ada pertanyaan apapun bahwa setiap anak di ruangan itu akan tumbuh menjadi orang dewasa yang melek huruf. Dan mereka semua benar-benar March - 2014 mengambil begitu saja - karena mereka menganggap biasa saja bahwa orang dewasa akan peduli untuk membacakan buku sambil menunjukkan mereka gambar, bahkan jika itu berarti membacanya secara terbalik. Kita semua tahu bahwa jutaan anak di seluruh dunia tidak begitu beruntung. Itulah mengapa kami membuat pendidikan dan keaksaraan dasar prioritas dalam pelayanan Rotary kita. Saat kita menandai Bulan Literasi di Rotary, kita mengingatkan diri kita sendiri sebuah Kado yang kita berikan ketika kita membantu seorang anak untuk membaca - apakah itu seorang anak di sisi lain dari dunia atau tepat di kampung halaman kita sendiri. Ron D. Burton President, Rotary International The Official Newsletter of District Governor - D3410 March - 2014 DO-IT-YOURSELF LIBRARIES The Peace Project, a community organization in Nicaragua supported by the Rotary Club of Keyser, West Virginia, USA, installed this library in partnership with the Los Angeles-based nonprofit Wishful Thinking. Photo Credit: Photos courtesy of Little Free Library When the editors at Reader's Digest made a list of the "50 Surprising Reasons We Love America" for their July 2013 cover story, they placed Bruce Springsteen and Jon Bon Jovi at No. 50, Bill Gates at No. 25, and at No. 11, sandwiched between sliced bread and tumbleweeds, was Little Free Library, a homespun-tribute-turned-international-phenomenon started by Rotary member Todd Bol. People in 55 countries have installed more than 16,000 Lilliputian lending libraries, run on the premise of "take a book, return a book," since Bol built his first in 2009 in memory of his mother, a teacher who loved to read. Called an "international movement" by the New York Times and a "global sensation" by the Huffington Post, the libraries have garnered coverage from media outlets including Japanese public television and French and Italian fashion magazines. Participation is simple: Mount a wooden box (many of them look like birdhouses) on a post in front of your home, workplace, or school. Fill it with books. Delight as neighbors stop by to browse your selections or leave books of their own. Bibliophiles aren't the only ones willing to trade a patch of lawn for a box of books. Bol, of Hudson, Wisconsin, calls Little Free Library "a new canvas for community groups" – such as artists in New York City, who held a competition to design the boxes; inmates at a Wisconsin prison, who are constructing them as part of vocational training and community service; and corporations, which are The Official Newsletter of District Governor - D3410 March - 2014 building them on service days to give back to their communities. Rotary and Rotaract clubs from the United States to Canada, Mauritius to Ghana, are installing the libraries in their areas too. About three-quarters of the operators build their own libraries; plans are available on the nonprofit's website,www.littlefreelibrary.org. The rest purchase readymade ones for $175 and up, depending on the model. The proceeds fund the staff, website, and educational outreach, as well as the organization's programs to build more libraries for people in need. SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURS Bol became friends with Rick Brooks, an expert in community development, around the same time that he created his first library, a miniature red schoolhouse. The two kicked around ideas for social entrepreneurial opportunities and kept coming back to Bol's library. "We knew there was genuine interest in this," says Brooks, co-founder of Little Free Library. Bol, who had built several more and given them away, could no longer keep up with demand. He hired an Amish carpenter as the primary craftsman. As the libraries gained attention, they began appearing everywhere. Bol and Brooks set a goal of creating 2,510 libraries – one more than philanthropist Andrew Carnegie, who used his fortune to found libraries around the world. They hit that number in August 2012, a year and a half before their target date. Today, Bol and Brooks are looking for ways to harness the worldwide enthusiasm for the idea into a movement that goes beyond individual homeowners. "How do we use that energy to foster better relationships, improve literacy, and get neighbours to talk to one another?" Bol asks. One way they're accomplishing this can be found at the Minneapolis/St. Paul chapter headquarters of Little Brothers – Friends of the Elderly, where a library was recently erected. It's the first in a new partnership between Little Free Library and AARP to reach isolated elders. "It's a gathering place. It's the perfect place for a library," says Jay Haapala, AARP associate state director for community outreach, of the new library. "Neighbours can come over, too, and find out what goes on here." As if on cue, an older gentleman walking by spots the blue and taupe library and strikes up a conversation with Greg Voss, Little Brothers executive director. "This is big for us," Voss says later. "We'll get some traffic. It will be more people at our doorstep." A GROWING PHENOMENON Little Free Library also has launched programs focused on Africa (Rotarians already have begun installing the libraries in Ghana) and on the 11,000 small U.S. towns without a public library. "Me and a shovel aren't going to do it ourselves," Bol says. "I can't think of anybody better than Rotarians. You guys could build a library in every small town in two months." The Rotary Club of Fort Wayne, Indiana, is installing 100 miniature libraries to celebrate its 100th anniversary in June 2015. Just hours after the local newspaper ran an article about the first one, the club received six phone calls from people interested in participating. The club is paying the fee to register the boxes with Little Free Library; the signs for the libraries are personalized with the club's name. "The response has been overwhelming," says Candace Schuler, who is heading up the project. "People tell me, 'I want one of these in my community.' There's no doubt we're going to exceed our goal." The Official Newsletter of District Governor - D3410 March - 2014 In November, Bol attended the National Book Awards; Little Free Library was among the winners of the National Book Foundation's 2013 Innovations in Reading Prize. Library Journal named him and Brooks "Movers and Shakers" for the year. "I just feel fortunate that this happened," he says. "I feel like I discovered the Tin Man on the Yellow Brick Road, and I put in some oil and he started dancing. And I had the great pleasure to have been the person who put the oil in." By Diana Schoberg Adapted from a story in the March 2014 issue of The Rotarian 24-MAR-2014 PERPUSTAKAAN DO-IT-YOURSELF A Little Free Library in Daegu, Korea. In/ Ketika para editor di Readers Digest membuat daftar "50 Alasan Mengejuntukan Kami mencintai Amerika" untuk artikel sampul mereka Juli 2013, mereka menempatkan Bruce Springsteen dan Jon Bon Jovi di No 50, Bill Gates di urutan 25, dan di No 11, diapit antara potongan roti dan tumbleweeds, adalah Little Free Library, sebuah pondok-kenangan-menjadi-fenomenainternasional-yang dimulai oleh Todd Bol anggota Rotary. Masyarakat di 55 negara telah mendirikan lebih dari 16.000 perpustakaan pinjaman Mini, yang dilakukan berdasarkan pemikiran "ambil satu buku, kembalikan satu buku," sejak Bol dirikan yang pertama pada tahun 2009 untuk mengenang ibunya, seorang guru yang suka membaca. Disebut The Official Newsletter of District Governor - D3410 March - 2014 "gerakan internasional" oleh New York Times dan "sensasi global" oleh Huffington Post, perpustakaan telah mendapatkan liputan dari media termasuk televisi publik Jepang dan Prancis dan majalah fashion Italia. Berpartisipasi sangat sederhana: Pasang kotak kayu (banyak di antaranya terlihat seperti rumah burung) pada sebuah tiang di depan rumah Anda, tempat kerja, atau sekolah. Isi dengan buku. Menyenangkan saat tetangga mampir untuk menelusuri pilihan Anda atau meninggalkan buku mereka sendiri. Pencinta buku bukan hanya orang yang bersedia menukar sepetak rumput untuk sekotak buku. Bol, dari Hudson, Wisconsin, menyebut Little Free Library "sebuah kanvas baru bagi kelompok masyarakat" - seperti seniman di New York City, yang mengadakan kompetisi untuk merancang kotak; narapidana di sebuah penjara Wisconsin, yang mengkonstruksi itu sebagai bagian dari pelatihan kejuruan dan pelayanan masyarakat; dan perusahaan, yang sedang membuatnya pada hari pelayanan untuk memberikan kontribusi kepada komunitas mereka. Rotary Club dan Rotaract dari Amerika Serikat hingga Kanada, Mauritius dan Ghana, mendirikan perangkat perpustakaan di daerah mereka juga. Sekitar tiga perempat dari operator membangun perpustakaan mereka sendiri; perencanaan juga tersedia di situs web nirlaba, www.littlefreelibrary.org. Yang lain membeli yang readymade seharga $ 175 keatas, tergantung pada model. Dana yang diperoleh mendanai staf, website, dan pendidikan penjangkauan, serta program-program organisasi untuk membangun perpustakaan lebih banyak untuk orang yang membutuhkan. PENGUSAHA SOSIAL Bol menjadi teman dengan Rick Brooks, seorang ahli dalam pemberdayaan masyarakat, sekitar waktu yang sama ketika ia menciptakan perpustakaan pertamanya, sebuah sekolah miniatur merah. Keduanya menggebrak sekitar ide untuk peluang wirausaha sosial dan terus datang kembali ke perpustakaan Bol itu. "Kami tahu ada minat yang tulus dalam hal ini," kata Brooks, co-founder dari Little Free Library. Bol, yang telah membangun beberapa lagi dan memberikannya gratis, tidak bisa lagi memenuhi permintaan. Dia menyewa seorang tukang kayu Amish sebagai pengrajin utama. Saat perpustakaan mendapat perhatian, mereka mulai muncul di mana-mana. Bol dan Brooks menetapkan target untuk menciptakan 2.510 perpustakaan - satu lagi daripada filantropis Andrew Carnegie, yang menggunakan kekayaannya untuk temukan perpustakaan di seluruh dunia. Mereka mencapai jumlah itu pada bulan Agustus 2012, satu setengah tahun sebelum tanggal target mereka. Hari ini, Bol dan Brooks mencari cara untuk memanfaatkan antusiasme seluruh dunia untuk sebuah ide menjadi sebuah gerakan yang lebih dari sekedar pemilik rumah individu. "Bagaimana kita menggunakan energi itu untuk mendorong hubungan yang lebih baik, meningkatkan melek huruf, dan mendapatkan tetangga untuk saling berkomunikasi?" Bol bertanya. Salah satu cara mereka mencapai tujuan ini dapat ditemukan di Minneapolis / St. Paul Chapter markas Little Brother Friends of the Elderly, di mana baru-baru ini perpustakaan didirikan. Ini yang pertama dalam kemitraan baru antara Little Free Library dan AARP untuk mencapai sesepuh yang terisolasi. "Ini adalah tempat pertemuan. Ini adalah tempat yang sempurna untuk perpustakaan," kata Jay Haapala, AARP direktur asosiasi negara bagi menjangkau komunitas, perpustakaan baru. "Tetangga bisa datang juga, dan mencari tahu apa yang terjadi di sini." Seperti diberi aba-aba, The Official Newsletter of District Governor - D3410 March - 2014 seorang pria tua berjalan dan melihat perpustakaan biru dan kelabu tua dan memulai sebuah percakapan dengan Greg Voss, direktur eksekutif Little Brothers. "Ini hal yang besar bagi kami," kata Voss kemudian. "Kita akan mendapat beberapa keramaian. Akan lebih banyak orang di depan rumah kami." SUATU FENOMENA BERKEMBANG Little Free Library juga telah meluncurkan program terfokus pada Afrika (Rotarian sudah mulai mendirikan perpustakaan di Ghana) dan 11.000 dikota-kota kecil AS tanpa perpustakaan umum. "Saya dan sebuah sekop tidak akan melakukannya sendiri," kata Bol. "Saya tak bisa memikirkan siapa pun yang lebih baik daripada para Rotarian. Kalian bisa membangun perpustakaan di setiap kota kecil dalam dua bulan." The Rotary Club of Fort Wayne, Indiana, mendirikan 100 perpustakaan mini untuk merayakan ulang tahun ke-100 pada bulan Juni 2015. Hanya beberapa jam setelah itu surat kabar setempat memuat artikel tentang yang pertama, klub menerima enam panggilan telepon dari orang-orang yang tertarik untuk berpartisipasi. Klub itu membayar biaya untuk mendaftar kotak dengan Little Free Library; rambu untuk perpustakaan dipersonalisasi dengan nama klub. "Responnya sudah luar biasa," kata Candace Schuler, yang mengepalai proyek tersebut. "Orang-orang mengatakan padaku, 'Aku ingin salah satunya di komunitas saya.' Tidak ada keraguan kita akan melampaui tujuan kita." Pada bulan November, Bol menghadiri National Book Awards; Little Free Library merupakan salah satu pemenang dari National Book Foundation 2013 Innovations in Reading Prize. Journal Perpustakaan menamainya dan Brooks "Movers dan Shaker" untuk tahun ini. "Saya hanya merasa beruntung bahwa hal ini terjadi," katanya. "Saya merasa seperti saya menemukan Tin Man di Yellow Brick Road, dan saya memasukkan beberapa minyak dan ia mulai menari. Dan saya memiliki kesenangan telah menjadi orang yang menempatkan minyak itu ke dalamnya" Milwaukee-Wisconsin The Official Newsletter of District Governor - D3410 March - 2014 SOUTHEAST ASIA DECLARED POLIO FREE The World Health Organization certified on 27 March its 11-country Southeast Asia region has eradicated polio, a long-awaited declaration given that five years ago India represented nearly half of all polio cases worldwide. The region’s last wild polio case was reported in West Bengal, India, on 13 January 2011. “This achievement is an important milestone for the Global Polio Eradication Initiative [GPEI],” said Rotary Foundation Trustee chair Dong Kurn Lee at the WHO’s South-East Asia Regional Certification Commission for Polio Eradication meeting in New Delhi, India, on 27 March. “We have beaten polio in Southeast Asia, and now we must do the same in the rest of Asia and Africa.” The region includes Bangladesh, Bhutan, Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, India, Indonesia, Maldives, Myanmar, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Thailand, and Timor-Leste. It’s more than 1.8 billion people represent over 25 percent of the world’s population. Southeast Asia joins WHO’s Region of the Americas (1994), Western Pacific Region (2000), and European Region (2002) in eradicating polio, marking another vital step toward a polio-free world by 2018. Densely crowded cities, migrant populations, and poor sanitation posed daunting challenges to eliminating the disease from Southeast Asia. India PolioPlus Committee Chair Deepak Kapur called eradicating polio in his country “a monumental task, demanding an extraordinary effort by all levels of government and partners involved. Backed by more than 100,000 Rotarians across the country, we helped to ensure maximum support for everything from National Immunization Days (NIDs) to mop-up immunization rounds.” Also crucial were “the extensive efforts we made to build goodwill and acceptance of polio immunization in the Muslim community and among religious leaders,” said former Rotary Foundation Trustee Ashok Mahajan. Rotary clubs created additional support by conducting free health camps to meet basic needs such as measles immunization, free checkups, medicines, vitamin A supplements, and eyeglasses. In Sri Lanka, ceasefire during the country’s civil war were pivotal to carrying out NIDs in the 1990s. As a first step, Rotary leaders and UNICEF established contact with the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam. “Our war is not with the children,” replied the group’s leader, stating that if Rotary and UNICEF could persuade the government to stop the war for two days, they would be willing to lay down their arms too. Subsequent NIDs became known as Days of Tranquility. In Bangladesh, Rotary, WHO, and UNICEF boosted public awareness of the need to eradicate polio, motivating parents to have their children vaccinated during NIDs. In Nepal, Rotary, the national government, WHO, and UNICEF worked hand in hand to make the country polio free. Nepal held its first NIDs in 1996 and recorded its last indigenous wild polio case just four years later. The Official Newsletter of District Governor - D3410 March - 2014 More than 1,500 Rotary members will be celebrating India’s and the region’s achievement at the Polio Free Conclave in New Delhi 29-30 March. The event also focused on strengthening the commitment of the GPEI partners to ending polio globally, including sharing lessons learned in India with other polio-infected countries. The GPEI’s challenge now is to eradicate polio in the three countries where the disease has never been stopped: Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Nigeria. And recent outbreaks in the Middle East and Horn of Africa are stark reminders that polio anywhere is a threat everywhere. “It is India’s responsibility now to share our lessons and best practices with our colleagues in the countries still fighting polio in order to protect their children, and ours as well,” said former Rotary International President Rajendra Saboo. “We already are doing this, assisting in any way we can… India’s victory over polio and the certification of Southeast Asia occur at just the right moment to provide a resounding rallying cry for the final push needed to wipe polio from the face of the earth.” Dan Nixon Rotary News 28-MAR-2014 Schoolchildren participate in a rally organized by Rotary members in Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, India, celebrating the country’s achievement of polio eradication. Photo Credit: Devin Thorpe The Official Newsletter of District Governor - D3410 March - 2014 ASIA TENGGARA DINYATAKAN BEBAS POLIO In/ Organisasi Kesehatan Dunia pada tanggal 27 Maret mensertifikasi 11-negara dikawasan Asia Tenggara telah membasmi polio, sebuah deklarasi yang ditunggu-tunggu mengingat bahwa lima tahun yang lalu India mewakili hampir setengah dari semua kasus polio di seluruh dunia. Kasus polio liar terakhir di kawasan ini dilaporkan di Bengal Barat, India, pada 13 Januari 2011. "Pencapaian ini merupakan tonggak penting untuk Global Polio Eradication Initiative [GPEI]," kata Rotary Foundation Trustee kursi Dong Kurn Lee di Komisi Sertifikasi Regional Asia Tenggara WHO untuk pertemuan Eradikasi Polio di New Delhi, India, pada tanggal 27 Maret. "Kita telah mengalahkan polio di Asia Tenggara, dan sekarang kita harus melakukan hal yang sama di seluruh Asia dan Afrika." Wilayah ini meliputi Bangladesh, Bhutan, Republik Demokratik Rakyat Korea, India, Indonesia, Maladewa, Myanmar, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Thailand, dan Timor-Leste. Ini adalah lebih dari 1,8 miliar orang merepresentasikan lebih dari 25 persen populasi dunia. Asia Tenggara bergabung WHO Region di Amerika (1994), Western Pacific Region (2000), dan European Region (2002) dalam pemberantasan polio, menandai langkah penting menuju dunia bebas polio pada tahun 2018. Kota-kota padat penuh sesak, penduduk migran, dan sanitasi yang buruk menimbulkan tantangan menakuntukan untuk menghilangkan penyakit dari Asia Tenggara. Ketua Komite PolioPlus India Deepak Kapur mengatakan bahwa memberantas polio di negaranya "tugas yang monumental, menuntut upaya yang luar biasa dengan semua tingkat pemerintahan dan mitra yang terlibat. Didukung lebih dari 100.000 Rotarian di seluruh negeri, kami membantu untuk memastikan dukungan maksimal untuk segalanya mulai dari National Immunization Days (NIDS) hingga menyisir-sampai putaran program imunisasi. " Juga sangat penting adalah "upaya ekstensif yang kami buat untuk membangun goodwill dan penerimaan imunisasi polio di komunitas Muslim dan di antara pemimpin agama," kata mantan Trustee Rotary Foundation Ashok Mahajan. Rotary clubs menciptakan dukungan tambahan dengan melakukan kamp kesehatan gratis untuk memenuhi kebutuhan dasar seperti program imunisasi campak, pemeriksaan gratis, obat-obatan, suplemen vitamin A, dan kacamata. Di Sri Lanka, gencatan senjata selama perang saudara di negara itu adalah penting untuk melaksanakan NIDS pada 1990-an. Sebagai langkah awal, para pemimpin Rotary dan UNICEF menjalin kontak dengan Liberation Tigers Tamil Eelam. "Perang kami tidak dengan anak-anak," jawab pemimpin kelompok itu, yang menyatakan bahwa jika Rotary dan UNICEF bisa membujuk pemerintah untuk menghentikan perang selama dua hari, mereka akan bersedia untuk meletakkan senjata mereka juga. NIDS selanjutnya menjadi dikenal sebagai Hari Tranquility. Di Bangladesh, Rotary, WHO, dan UNICEF meningkatkan kesadaran publik akan perlunya untuk memberantas polio, memotivasi orang tua untuk memiliki anak mereka divaksinasi selama PIN. Di Nepal, Rotary, pemerintah nasional, WHO, dan UNICEF bekerja bergandengan tangan untuk The Official Newsletter of District Governor - D3410 March - 2014 membuat negara bebas polio. Nepal mengadakan PIN pertama pada tahun 1996 dan mencatat kasus polio liar yang terakhir pada penduduk asli hanya empat tahun kemudian. Lebih dari 1.500 anggota Rotary akan merayakan prestasi India dan kawasan itu di Polio Free Conclave di New Delhi 29-30 Maret. Acara ini juga difokuskan pada penguatan komitmen mitra GPEI untuk mengakhiri polio secara global, termasuk berbagi pelajaran yang dipelajari di India dengan negara-negara yang terinfeksi polio lainnya. Tantangan GPEI sekarang adalah untuk memberantas polio di tiga negara di mana penyakit ini belum pernah berhenti: Afghanistan, Pakistan, dan Nigeria. Dan wabah baru-baru ini di Timur Tengah dan Pantai Gading Afrika adalah peringatan yang sebenarnya bahwa polio di mana saja merupakan ancaman di mana-mana. "Adalah tanggung jawab India sekarang untuk berbagi pelajaran dan praktik terbaik dengan rekanrekan kami di negara-negara yang tengah berjuang membasmi polio untuk melindungi anak-anak mereka, dan anak kita juga," kata mantan Presiden Rotary International Rajendra Saboo. "Kita sudah melakukan ini, membantu dengan cara apapun yang kita bisa ... kemenangan India atas polio dan sertifikasi Asia Tenggara terjadi pada saat yang tepat untuk memberikan seruan gemilang untuk desakan terakhir yang diperlukan untuk menghapus polio dari muka bumi . " The Official Newsletter of District Governor - D3410 March - 2014 TRUSTEE CHAIR'S MESSAGE Inspire locally, grow globally. Since its inception, Rotary has striven to do the greatest good it can, wherever it can. Local clubs within an international organization have meant that Rotary projects have both local and global effects. But as Rotary looks ahead, and as The Rotary Foundation builds on the groundwork that already has been laid, we acknowledge the need for new, creative ways of addressing problems. Many clubs here in America provide dictionaries to school children, for instance, and this is a wonderful way to encourage and support literacy. But are dictionaries the best use of money, in a time and place where students are more likely to look a word up online? What other projects could support literacy in a way that will make a greater and longer-lasting difference? Some exciting partnerships developed between clubs and other organizations during the pilot of the Foundation's new grant model. One that I am fond of is a collaboration that two Rotary districts in California and Uganda formed with two non-governmental organizations in Uganda. These districts used the new vocational training team structure to send Rotarians and other professionals to Nkondo, where they helped establish a clean water system and a trained health clinic staff. The local government was so impressed, it also pitched in. The vocational training team inspired a partnership with a Ugandan NGO that provides microfinance training and oversight, and another one that works with farmers to produce crops at a higher yield. Rotarians from Kenya and Uganda travelled to District 5340 in California to learn about sustainable agriculture and irrigation, as well as good business practices. In this case, our Foundation was able to provide service that not only meets the needs of a village but empowers and inspires local groups in ways that only Rotary can. Rotary always has engaged in strategic partnerships with other organizations and governments around the world. If it weren't for our global partners, the eradication of polio still would be just a dream. But as we implement our new grant model, strategic partnerships that take advantage of Rotary's global reach at a local level will become even more central to our success. DONG KURN (D.K.) LEE TRUSTEE CHAIR 2013-14 The Official Newsletter of District Governor - D3410 March - 2014 PESAN TRUSTEE CHAIR'S In/ Menginspirasi secara lokal, berkembang secara global. Sejak awal, Rotary telah berusaha untuk melakukan kebaikan terbesar itu sebisanya, di mana pun itu bisa. Klub lokal dalam suatu organisasi internasional memiliki arti bahwa proyek-proyek Rotary memiliki dua efek lokal dan global. Tetapi sebagai Rotary memandang ke depan, dan sebagai The Rotary Foundation dibangun berdasarkan dasar yang telah direncanakan, kami menyadari kebutuhan baru, dengan cara yang kreatif dalam menangani masalah. Banyak klub di Amerika sini menyediakan kamus untuk anak-anak sekolah, misalnya, dan ini adalah cara yang bagus untuk mendorong dan mendukung keaksaraan. Tapi apakah kamus merupakan pembelanjaan terbaik , dalam jangka waktu dan tempat di mana siswa lebih cenderung untuk mencari sepatah kata secara online? Proyek lain apa yang dapat mendukung keaksaraan sedemikian rupa sehingga akan membuat perbedaan yang lebih besar dan lebih ta Beberapa kemitraan yang menarik dikembangkan antara klub dan organisasi lain dalam percontohan model Foundation hibah yang baru. Salah satu yang saya suka adalah suatu kolaborasi dua distrik Rotary di California dan Uganda dibentuk dengan dua organisasi non pemerintah di Uganda. Distrik ini menggunakan struktur tim pelatihan kejuruan yang baru untuk mengirim Rotarian dan profesional lain ke Nkondo, di mana mereka membantu membangun sistem air bersih dan melatih staf klinik kesehatan. Pemerintah setempat sangat terkesan, ia juga turut berpartisipasi Tim pelatihan kejuruan menginspirasi kemitraan dengan LSM Uganda yang memberikan pelatihan keuangan mikro dan pengawasan, dan satu lainnya yang bekerja dengan para petani untuk menghasilkan panen dengan imbal hasil yang lebih tinggi. Rotarian dari Kenya dan Uganda melakukan perjalanan ke Distrik 5340 di California untuk belajar tentang pertanian yang berkesinambungan dan irigasi, serta praktek-praktek bisnis yang baik. Dalam hal ini, Yayasan kita mampu memberikan layanan yang tidak hanya memenuhi kebutuhan satu desa tetapi memberdayakan dan menginspirasi kelompok-kelompok lokal dengan cara yang hanya bisa oleh Rotary. Rotary selalu terlibat dalam kemitraan strategis dengan organisasi lain dan pemerintah di seluruh dunia. Jika bukan untuk mitra global kita, pemberantasan penyakit polio akan tetap menjadi hanya impian. Tapi ketika kita menerapkan model hibah kita yang baru , kemitraan strategis yang memanfaatkan jangkauan global Rotary di tingkat lokal akan menjadi lebih penting bagi kesuksesan kita.

The Official Newsletter of District Governor - D3410 March - 2014 Reportase tim disaster relief D3410 area Bandung/ Cirebon Hujan yang masih turun terus menerus mengakibatkan beberapa wilayah di negara kita kembali terkena banjir, termasuk di jalur pantura, Kabupaten Subang. Tim disaster District 3410 untuk area Bandung /Cirebon, pada tanggal 9 Maret 2014 lalu, kembali turun untuk memberikan bantuan bagi masyarakat yang terkena musibah banjir tersebut. Tim disaster kali ini bermitra dengan VW Club Bandung dengan obat-obatannya serta komunitas Berbaginasi Bandung dan Subang yang juga bekerja sama dengan CSR Brownies Amanda dengan bantuan logistiknya. Sabtu malam tanggal 8 Maret 2014, sekitar pukul 22 tim mulai berdatangan di lokasi base camp, rumah PP Endang Paminto di Subang. Sekitar tengah malam, di tengah hujan gerimis dan kabut yang masih cukup tebal, semua tim telah lengkap berkumpul di base camp. Rtn Danang dari RC Bandung Dago sebagai koordinator lapangan memimpin koordinasi untuk persiapan kegiatan esok harinya. Minggu tanggal 9 Maret 2014, rombongan pertama yaitu tim kesehatan yang terdiri dari Rtn Poppy (RC Bandung Kota Kembang), relawan dokter, serta tim VW berangkat pukul 05.30 menuju lokasi dusun Galian Kecamatan Pusakanagara Kabupaten Subang, untuk persiapan pengobatan. Perjalanan memakan waktu sekitar 3 jam termasuk melewati jalur yang masih tergenang air dengan kedalaman kurang lebih 0,5 m sehingga cukup was-was khawatir tidak bisa sampai ke tujuan. Rombongan ke-2 yaitu rombongan logistik dipimpin Rtn Danang berangkat menyusul pada pukul 07.00. Kegiatan berlangsung paralel. Tim pengobatan yang terdiri dari 3 dokter mulai bekerja dibantu relawan dari VW Club dan Rotaract yang dikoordinir oleh Rotaractor Wisnu (Bandung Sentral Kota Kembang) di bagian penyediaan obat. Sementara itu, sebagian Rotarator menghibur anak-anak korban banjir dengan menggambar dan membuat origami serta bermain bersama. Bingkisan berupa biskuit dan susu juga dibagikan untuk mereka. Anak-anak sangat antusias dan terhibur. Tim logistik Rotary, Rotaract, dan Berbaginasi juga bekerja membagikan bantuan logistik untuk kurang lebih 600 keluarga. Alhamdulillah berkat kerja sama yang baik, kegiatan berjalan dengan lancar. Sekitar pukul 14.30 posko pengobatan terpaksa ditutup setelah melayani lebih dari 300 pasien, mengingat perjalanan ke Bandung masih cukup jauh dan cuaca yang tidak dapat diprediksi. Masyarakat yang diwakili oleh kepala dusun mengucapkan terima kasih sebesar-sebesarnya atas bantuan dari seluruh tim, dan berharap masalah banjir tersebut dapat segera teratasi. Pukul 15 tim disaster Rotary serta seluruh mitra kembali ke Bandung, alhamdulillah perjalanan cukup lancar. Terima kasih kepada semua yang telah berpartisipasi dalam kegiatan ini, DG, para AG, president, past president serta seluruh club Rotary dan Rotaract se Bandung.
